We\u2019d been told to visit the little Hudson falls, which was a short distance down a gravel road. Turned out the gravel road was really rutted and bumpy and too us 40 minutes to drive. At the falls it was a short walk to some river caves which were cool, but not worth the uncomfortable drive I didn\u2019t think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We arrived at port hardy around 5pm and found a nice spot to camp beside the beach.

It\u2019s a long weekend in Canada so all campgrounds are full. We spent the day hanging out at the beach before heading to the Costco carpark for the night. I\u2019d been craving fish and chips, so we went to a nearby restaurant and I had fish tacos. I thought nz battered fish was good, but it\u2019s next level here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve been on island time and completely forgotten to do blogs.
